In just a few short years of time, she had long since lost count of how much money she had. Most of the resources in the world would go through Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce, so naturally, she would be able to earn a lot.
Shangguan Li could only accept it since he could not reject it.
After the betrothal gift was given, Hua Ruge did not have much else to do, but she would occasionally ask about the progress of the house, and knew nothing about wedding etiquette.
During this period of time, the various sects could be considered to be peaceful. The Myriad Sword Sect that had grudges with Hua Ruge and the other Four Major Sects had also obediently recommended new sect masters after returning to their sects, without any intentions of settling the score.
All the large sects were led by the Purple Cloud Sect, but in reality, the situation had already changed. Everyone knew that the Nine Prefectures Pavilion, Dustless Sect, Western Beastmen Clan, and the Grand Xia Dynasty were the real powers, and if there were any major changes in the God Domain in the future, they would have to watch the eyes of the big powers.
Shangguan Li's Night Pavilion had never stopped moving, and there were no longer any traces of Immeasurable Devil Sect nor any signs of him.
Hua Ruge heaved a sigh of relief after looking at the situation. He felt that he could finally live a peaceful life for a while.
Not long after, Tuoba Rui arrived first, saying that the following squads would be led by Master Wang Yun.
Today, while the two were in the courtyard, Hua Ruge was happily eating some fruits while Tuoba Rui was reading by the side.
"The days without worries are really good." Hua Ruge sighed and continued, "Men with money and free life are truly joyful."
Tuoba Rui shook his head and laughed, then asked: "What places do you want to go to? After they get married, we can go take a look."
"I've been out for a long time, and I've missed my mother and auntie a bit. After attending the wedding here, we'll go back to the western border and fetch the old man." Hua Ruge stretched lazily.
Tuoba Rui nodded. "Of course."
"Later on, I'll come back to develop the Immortal City here. All these cultivation areas are too boring, I want to open some big restaurants to make this place more lively, so there's a good place for me to eat wherever I go." Hua Ruge said again.
Tuoba Rui laughed involuntarily once again. She really did not forget to eat every single time.
"I need to go back to Land of Chaos and see how they are improving."
Tuoba Rui nodded.
"After that, we can go sightseeing and have a baby." Hua Ruge planned.
"Alright." This time, Tuoba Rui was really lucky.
Hua Ruge felt that this pervert should be thrown out to sacrifice to the heavens, but she didn't dare, so she nodded her head in fear.
With the completion of the grand house that took up thousands of land, the day of the marriage of the Little Marten and Shangguan Li grew closer and closer. Young Master Wu Hen and Jun Tianxia had also rushed over after taking care of their internal affairs.
After they came, Hua Ruge decided to just live at the bottom of the mountain. It would be more convenient to live in the city, of course, it would be more convenient to take Su Nianxia and Xiao Jiu out to eat and drink.
As long as the three of them were together, they would cause quite a commotion, and the men were used to keeping their rooms empty.
After making a ruckus, they finally reached the day before the wedding. Shangguan Li was preparing to get married in Hua Ruge's old house, while the Little Marten had already arrived at the new house, waiting for the bride.
That night, Hua Ruge went to Shangguan Li's courtyard and asked immediately after meeting him, "How's your etiquette training going?"
"Just listen to it once and you'll be fine. There's no need to specially practice it." Shangguan Li put down the teacup in his hand: "You've worked hard these past few days."
Hua Ruge automatically ignored her second sentence, and asked her in astonishment: "Aren't you afraid that you'll forget your etiquette the next day if you don't practice it?"
She knew how troublesome the benefits of getting married were. She had practiced it for quite a number of days before getting married, and in the end, someone came to cause trouble during the wedding. After a fight, she had forgotten to use her foot first.
Shangguan Li shook his head: "No."
"You're awesome." Hua Ruge gave a thumbs up.
At this time, Lan Er had already brought the tea up. As usual, Hua Ruge flirted with the little girl and said: "This time, your young miss is going to be married off, should I consider following me?"
"No."
"What about getting married?"
"No!" Lan Er shook his head like a calm drum.
Shangguan Li laughed, "Don't tease her, when I find something suitable, I will naturally find it for her."
"Pavilion Master, why did you join in the commotion as well?" Lan Er said helplessly.
Shangguan Li knew that she didn't want to hear about it, so he said: "Alright, alright, I won't say anymore."
As expected, Lan Er stood at the side after seeing that they had stopped talking.
Hua Ruge smiled, then said to Shangguan Li: "Tomorrow is the wedding day, what do you want to do?
"What?" Shangguan Li subconsciously asked, but he quickly realised what Hua Ruge was talking about, and his face immediately flushed red.
"Have you made up your mind?" Hua Ruge asked again.
Shangguan Li hesitated for a while, then said: "I haven't done this before, to be honest, I don't know what to do."
"That's alright. I know what that means, but don't just take it for granted." Hua Ruge blinked his eyes at her.
Shangguan Li thought about it again and again before nodding: "Understood."
"It's good that you know it. According to the customs, I have to find a close friend to sleep with you, so I'll sleep with you tonight. Do you have any objections?" Hua Ruge asked again.
Shangguan Li shook his head.
"That's good. I came here after a long conversation. You can go there secretly." Hua Ruge raised his eyebrows.
That night, the two of them slept on the ground. Hua Ruge's sleeping quality was always better.
However, Shangguan Li couldn't fall asleep due to being nervous, and pulled her along, "Before you got married, were you even a little afraid?"
"It seems a little bit. Thinking that I have to become a married woman and I can no longer take liberties with a woman, I feel a sense of loss and frustration for a tree that has lost the whole forest." Hua Ruge sighed.
Shangguan Li rolled his eyes at her: "Seriously."
"Do I look like I'm being improper?" Hua Ruge acted like he was an elder.
Shangguan Li studied it and nodded.
"?" Hua Ruge.
Of course, she knew that her reputation was out there, and it wasn't easy for her to refute it, so she gave up.
"I don't know why, but I feel uneasy." Shangguan Li turned towards her side and said: "Why don't we talk."
"Sure, what do you want to talk about?" Hua Ruge also opened his eyes.
Shangguan Li didn't have much to say in the past, but this time, she started to talk about everything from when she was young.
Hua Ruge had never heard her speak so much, and had never seen her like this, her eyes filled with anticipation for the future.
This stone had finally warmed the Little Marten's skin, and now was the time for it to blossom.
"When I was first entrusted with this idea to deal with you, I actually didn't put you in my eyes. It wasn't until I heard that you actually didn't die, or maybe you just revived, that I realized you might not be so easy to deal with." Shangguan Li said to her.1
She felt that meeting Hua Ruge was a very important turning point in her life, so she needed to focus on narrating it.
When Hua Ruge heard this, he couldn't help but be angered. He looked at Shangguan Li and said unhappily: "That time was the most miserable one for me, and no one other than you could force me to death. If it wasn't for me knowing that I had made many enemies and left a Soul Recovery Pill, I would have already become a dead ghost."
Shangguan Li laughed complacently, and said: "I'm still pretty strong huh."
Thinking of the pain he had suffered during that period of time, he glared at her unhappily.
"That's enough. Didn't you come back for revenge? You used all sorts of powers to compress my power and even forced my real body to come and negotiate with you." Shangguan Li continued: "You should know that before then, no one knew that Ye Gongzi was a woman."
Only then did Hua Ruge regain his balance, and said: "This match can be considered to have been evenly fought."
"Actually, with our skill, not much more than a few moves is such a pity. If we were not good friends but instead opponents, I think there would be many good things that would have happened on this continent." Shangguan Li said as if he still had more to say.
"It would be better if there were more disasters." Hua Ruge said as he yawned.
"Fortunately, I did not become your enemy. Otherwise, with how much Little Marten protects your sister, it would be better to become my enemy." When Shangguan Li talked about Little Marten, his eyes became even brighter.
